Try sending a thoughtful housewarming gift along with your message.

You can bring the gift with you if they’re throwing a housewarming party, or simply mail it to their new house. Here are some gift ideas to inspire you:
- A gift card. It’s pretty expensive to fill up a new house, so this may be the most practical and useful thing you can get new homeowners. You can get them a giftcard to a decor or kitchen supply store, or a general gift card they can use at multiple places.
- A candle. Nothing makes a home feel warm and cozy quite like a yummy scented candle. You can opt for something sweet like vanilla, relaxing like lavender, or fresh like eucalyptus–whatever you think goes best with their taste and style.
- A cheese board set. Everyone loves a charcuterie board, but many people don’t have fancy supplies like cheese knives and wood slabs to create one. This makes a charcuterie board set the perfect gift!
